Caulfield Guineas quest for Longma

Melbourne colt Longma is on the threshold of a breakout season after an 8 length victory at Werribee on Wednesday.

Longma (2c Sebring – Yes She Can Cancan by Canny Lad) is heading to the G1 Caulfield Guineas in October and that’s good news for Raheen Stud.

Studmaster Basil Nolan owns his older half-sister La Goulue (Danehill Dancer). Black-typed in Adelaide, her Sebring colt made $180,000 as part of the Raheen draft at this year’s Gold Coast Magic Millions. Peter Moody was the buyer.

“I barely got out of neutral,” jockey Craig Newitt said at Werribee. “He’s shown us plenty at home. He just towed me through the (Heavy 8) going and was never going to lose.”

Nolan also owns Yes She Can Cancan’s half-sister Stepping (Dodge). She’s the dam of Moody’s open-class sprinter Club Command (Commands) and her Flying Spur colt sold to NZ for $100,000 at the Magic Millions.
